Chapter 57 Don't Forgive
Chapter 57 Don't Forgive
Mu Xue and Mu Feng, the brother and sister, were still facing off in the pavilion.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Mu Xue called out, urging them to leave.
"Hmph, Mu Xue, I advise you not to be so arrogant. If anyone should leave, it's you. This Mu family mansion cannot tolerate you," Mu Feng said coldly.
From the moment she fed her mother a cake containing deadly poison, killing her, he decided that his younger sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, would also die.
He no longer acknowledged that Mu Xue was his sister.
From a stranger's perspective, Mu Xue could understand the actions of the Mu family father and son, but she did not agree with them.
Starting eight years ago, they began framing children who were only a few years old.
They were then abandoned in Yunan City, where they had no relatives.
For eight years, he was bullied relentlessly.
Finally, she was thrown into a deep pit in the forest, clearly because they didn't want her to live.
Mu Xue also decided not to forgive the Mu family.
The original owner wasn't always mentally impaired. When the effects of the flying flower medicine weakened, she would have brief moments of lucidity, and in her memories, she would miss her father and brothers.
The closer someone is to you, the more painful it is when they hurt you.
"Do you really think the Mu family mansion is some kind of luxurious haven? Do you think I care about that?" Mu Xue said with a sneer.
"Fine, very well indeed!" Mu Feng's hands trembled with anger at Mu Xue. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Mu family can't tolerate someone like you, then get out of here now! Get out of the Mu family!!"
Mu Xue clapped her hands and calmly said, "I will avenge all the injustices I have suffered over the past eight years. Are you all ready?"
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house. A little while later, he came out carrying the same backpack he had been carrying before.
She took out everything from inside and said, "Your Mu family hasn't given me a single penny in the past eight years. Today I'm leaving the mansion, and from now on I have nothing to do with your Mu family. Remember, my surname is Mu, the Mu of Mu Xue."
SuSu spoke up: "Miss, take me with you!"
Mu Xue was surprised that Su Su was the first to express her opinion.
Su Su was an orphan rescued by the original owner's mother, and she wasn't exactly a maid bought by the Mu family.
She didn't have a contract of servitude, so she was naturally a free person.
Seeing that the two siblings were no longer compatible, Granny Kang wept silently.
Hearing that Susu was going to go with Muxue, she felt a pang of sadness. She never expected that things would come to this.
Kang Mama bowed to Mu Feng and said, "This old servant is getting old, so I have asked to leave the mansion."
This clearly shows that he wants to follow Mu Xue.
Mu Feng was somewhat taken aback. He was also raised by Granny Kang, and he never expected that she would also go with Mu Xue.
He tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Granny Kang, the manor won't miss a bite to eat."
Granny Kang gave a sad smile: "Take care, young master. I hope you won't regret this."
After saying that, he turned around and followed Mu Xue out of the mansion without looking back.
Seeing this, Mu Feng angrily flung his sleeves and turned back to his Red Maple Courtyard.
Changsheng followed silently behind him the whole time without making a sound.
His feelings were also very complicated; he felt that the Fifth Miss was both hateful and pitiful.
"Immortality!" Mu Feng shouted.
"Young Master." Changsheng strode into the house.
"Go get the wine!" Mu Feng said.
"Young Master, Physician Wang said that you must abstain from alcohol completely now," Changsheng advised.
"Go get it!" Mu Feng said firmly.
“...Yes.” Changsheng said helplessly.
When Changsheng went to fetch the wine, Aunt An received the news that Muxue had been kicked out of the mansion.
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Go ahead and make a scene. The bigger the better!"
Tao'er said cautiously, "Madam, now that the Fifth Miss has left the manor, it will be much harder for us to monitor her every move."
"As expected, all the children born to that bitch Shen Wan are just as brainless as her. Mu Xue has been kicked out, so what do we need to worry about? If we want to kill her, we might as well just do it." Aunt An spoke viciously in a gentle tone.
Tao'er trembled and lowered her head even further.
Mu Xue, along with Granny Kang and Su Su, first settled in Yuesheng Inn.
She went to the front desk and found the shopkeeper, asking about Cang Lin's whereabouts. "Shopkeeper, I'm looking for Cang Lin, is he here?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper respectfully asked, "Are you Miss Mu Xue?"
“Yes,” Mu Xue replied.
"My master left a message saying he has urgent business to attend to and will be back soon. If you need anything done, just tell me. My name is Wang Qi," the shopkeeper said.
"Manager Wang, I'd like to find a courtyard, not too big, but quiet and safe," Mu Xue said.
She's not short of money, she just doesn't have any manpower.
Although Mu Hu was still there, one person wasn't enough, especially since she had left the Mu family. She also wanted to give Mu Hu a choice.
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll arrange for someone to go look for it right away." After saying that, Manager Wang thought of a courtyard in the north of Yu Nan City, which the Demon Lord had bought to stay temporarily, but because it was far from the Mu residence, he had never lived there.
Thinking of this, he called out to Mu Xue, who was about to turn and go upstairs, "Miss, the master bought a three-courtyard house in the north of the city before, but he never went to live there because he thought it was too far from you. Why don't you go and take a look?"
"The master said that this courtyard was originally intended to be bought so that you would have a place to stay. I didn't expect... hehe." Manager Wang finished speaking and laughed awkwardly.
"In that case, would it be convenient for you to take me to see it?" Mu Xue thought for a moment. Since Cang Lin wasn't going to live there anyway, and he wasn't here, she could buy it.
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, Miss." Manager Wang quickly agreed.
"Hey, come here for a second," Manager Wang called out to a young man in the lobby.
"Hey, Dad. What's wrong?" Wang Heping walked over and asked.
"This is Miss Muxue. I'd like to take you to see the master's courtyard so you can take better care of the shop's business," Manager Wang instructed.
"Greetings, Miss." Wang Heping greeted Mu Xue first, then replied, "Yes, Father."
Mu Xue saw that the young man was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked honest and kind, and had a strong build. It was obvious that he and Manager Wang were father and son.
"Could you please inform the two people who came with me that I'm going to check on the yard and will be back soon? Could you please keep an eye on it for me?" Mu Xue said.
"Yes, yes, Miss. Don't worry, I'll go and tell them right away." The young man nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you for your trouble." Mu Xue nodded.
Manager Wang had someone prepare a carriage sometime earlier, and as soon as they stepped out of the inn, they saw an ordinary-looking carriage parked at the door.
"Miss, please get in the carriage. The north of the city is quite far from our south side, so we'll get there faster by carriage," Manager Wang explained.
"Okay." Mu Xue stepped onto the carriage and headed north of the city with Manager Wang.
Ye Shangyuan had been keeping a close eye on the Mu family's movements ever since he returned to the east of the city.
The guards he had previously assigned were discovered by Mu Xue, but he did not recall them. Instead, they continued to stand guard outside Yu Yue Garden.
Just now, the secret guards reported that Mu Xue, along with the nannies and maids in the courtyard, had been driven out of the Mu residence by Mu Feng.
He had been waiting for Mu Xue to come to him ever since he received the news.
It was getting dark, and Mu Xue still hadn't come looking for them.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly thought of someone, the one who claimed to be Mu Xue's uncle.
